How a Bill Becomes a Law
Storyboard-Text
- Idea --> Bill due to public dissatisfaction
- You are right but you won't get reelected if you don't appease the public
- Guess it's decided. We shall make the federal government take this problem and let Congress decide on Early Elections in whole US. We shall draft this idea into a congressional bill!
- What to do now. Early elections will never happen with our current state legislature.
- Our Idea: We Want Early Elections
- Introduce Bill to one of the Houses
- Capitol Hill, Here I am! Let us see what our other Congressmen have to say about federally mandated early elections. Tomorrow, I will introduce this bill to the House.
- You are the member of the House's Committee on Elections. Do you think this bill can pass?
- It will pass the house without any issue and committee will also support it after some edits. You will manage to appease people of your district. But whether it becomes a law is down to the Senate and their filibuster due to the current 50-50 split.
- Reminds me of H.R. 1 bill this year but this is just different shorter version.
- Committee on Election edits the bill
- That's enough guys. I think this is enough for a bill otherwise it may soon become tooooooooooooo controversial.
- May as well Include Federal government footing that bill for election. Gives federal government a chance to make elections more fair and have a higher say in them.
- I think this is a great bill but can we also add no excuse absentee ballot, while we are on the election topic.
- If I let you guys keep going, this bill will be harder to pass than H.R. 1!!!!!
- House Votes on the Bill
- That bill passed. Same votes as H.R 1 bill. Well, this was just a formality. We will let Senate be the filibusters for this bill as always.
- The House passes H.R. Bill with 220 yays and 210 nays.
- Senators may Filibuster the Bill
- We want Early Elections.
- Since my election is next term, I can't put my vote for filibuster.
- I also can't filibuster since our state already has early election so voting against it doesn't make sense.
- Other states should also have early election.
- Bill goes to Senate --> Senate Filibuster
- We wish to have a vote to debate it on senate floor
- The bill is voted to be debated upon.
- Filibustered again! Wow! That bill barely made it!
- Today's Agenda includes the Early Election Bill.
- The vote has received 61 yays and 39 nays reaching the required 60 for cloture, therefore the bill shall be debated in Senate.
